Rejoice by Gladys Casely-Hayford

 Rejoice By Gladys Casely-Hayford 




Rejoice and shout with laughter 

Throw all your burdens down, 

If God has been so gracious 

As to make you black or brown 

Do  you are a great nation, 

A people of great birth 

For where would spring the flowers 

If God took away the earth? 

Rejoice and shout with laughter 

Throw all your burdens down 

Yours is a glorious heritage 

If you are black, or brown.
